Jamal Adams signs with Detroit Lions practice squad: reports

The Detroit Lions’ injury-depleted defense is reportedly getting help in the form of a former All-Pro safety.

According to multiple reports, the Lions are signing safety Jamal Adams, a three-time Pro Bowler and 2019 All-Pro first-teamer, to the practice squad with an agreement that he will be added to the roster.

Adams last made the Pro Bowl in 2020, his first season with the Seattle Seahawks after three years with the New York Jets, who selected him No. 6 overall in 2017. He was a second-team All-Pro with the Jets in 2018 and with the Seahawks in 2020.

The LSU alumnus played just 10 games for the Seahawks over the last two seasons before being released in March. He signed with the Tennessee Titans in July but has played in just three games with 20 defensive snaps this season; In mid-October he applied for his release (which was granted).

The Lions have lost numerous defensive starters to injuries this year: newest defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo was the latest, and the team announced Saturday that it would play the rookie on injured reserve. Likewise, Aidan Hutchinson, Marcus Davenport, Derrick Barnes, Alex Anzalone, Malcolm Rodriguez, Kyle Peko and John Cominsky are all out through the end of the regular season.

The injury situation is less severe in the secondary, although cornerbacks Terrion Arnold, Carlton Davis III, Emanuel Moseley, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. and safeties Brian Branch and Ifeatu Melifonwu are all out with various injuries. Rakestraw and Melifonwu were placed on injured reserve in late November, meaning an absence of at least four games.
